I've participated in 2 events as a participant (3rd is next week in Dublin!) and 2 as a nonfundraising mentor. First was the 2005 Disney marathon. Then did the 2006 Disney 1/2 marathon and marathon (the Goofy challenge). Counting this year's Dublin marathon fundraising I've raised a little over $20,000 for the team.

You both Rock! Nice job. Having lost friends and family to cancer... I personal thank you both for your efforts and great work for LLS, our researchers and patients and their families. You have made a difference! :0) I have coached, volunteered, worked and participated in TNT for over 16 years. I have done several TNT Marathons, half marathons and cycle rides over the years. But despite my efforsts and all teh maoney I have raised... I feel I have been blessed and got more out of my TNT expereinces than I have put in. :0) Great organization! Great mission!

Wow! You guys/girls are amazing! That is awesome. Disney in Jan 08 will be my 3rd half for TNT. I started in 2005 and I have raised a little over $2,500 and this will be my 2nd time as a mentor. I would love to say in a few years that I have raised some substantial amount of money. I keep trying new fundraising ideas and I'm getting ready to do a 2nd annual silent auction, this year is it much larger than last, so I'm excited to see this take off and continue to grow over the years. Congrats to all of you!

I started with Team in training in May of 1996. My first event was the Marine Corps Marathon. It is still my favorite event and I have run it FIVE times. I will return to coach it this weekend.

I will run NYC the following week as my 20th TNT marathon.

I use a letter writing campaign to now raise $6000 each year, finally going over the $50,000 mark this year.

Shout "Hi" when you pass by. I'll have a hundred purple, green, and white ribbons on my singlet with the names of my honored teammates!

Ron

I signed up for TNT in February of 2005. I decided to complete an endurance event to support my husband and his battle with testicular cancer. My endurance event of choice at that time was a triathlon. My husband decided to complete this event alongside me and that is how we've completed each event since then. We were just awarded our triple crown at the Chicago Marathon. To date have each completed 2 triathlons, 1 century ride, and 1 marathon all alongside each other. We have double fundraised each time and have successfully completed each aspect of the Team in Training experience. To date we have raised over $25,000 for cancer research and patient aid. I am all for the double triple! My husband suggested it to our chapter just recently. We are now training for our second marathon in May of 2008 with Team in Training and have begun the steps for our next fundraising events. I hope each of you has the same experiences with Team in Training that we have been so fortunate to have! God Bless!

I started in 2003 at the Saint Anthony's Triathlon. I have fund raised for 3 triathlons, 2 centuries, and 2 marathons. I've also been a non fund raising mentor for 3 triathlons. I guess I need to do 1 more century and marathon to do a triple triple cown. I think I've raised some where around $40,000 - $50,000 for those seven events. I would have to rummage around and find old paycor statements if I wanted to be precise.

I thought I had done a lot until I met the top fund raiser at Nike who did $56,000 just for that one event! I talked to her, and she puts a lot of time and energy into it. It's a year around endeavor for her. It almost sounds like a full time job to go along with her actaul job.

in response to: ppw_tnt

I thought a triple crown is when you do an event for all three categories, which I am understand you did from your statement. How come you have to do another marathon and another tri? Do you have to do them in a certain amount of time?


Thanks! As you can tell I am new to tnt!

I completed the triple crown when I completed the 2006 Nike Women's Marathon.

I was being a little silly when I said if I did another century and marathon I would have a "triple" triple crown. (9 events of 3 tris, 3, centuries, 3 marathons) Reading a similar thread on the 20th Anniversary board somebody was mentioning that they received a second triple crown when they did another century, tri, marathon. So in reality I've done the triple crown twice.

How many events have you done? 4 with TNT - Mayor's Marathon in Anchorage 2003, RNR San Diego in 2004, RNR San Diego 1/2 in 2006, Hy-Vee Triathlon in Des Moines 2007 (I've done numerous half marathons and did Grandma's Marathon in 2005, all wearing my TNT singlet, but not fundraising for those events)

What year did you start? 2003 - raised $5,200 :) in my first fundraising efforts

And how much have you fundraised so far? nearly $15,000
